"Mr. Hope?!" Mia cried out in surprise. Her mood had been lifted by Baiyi's sudden appearance. When she saw that Baiyi was wearing the cloak that she had made for him, she was even happier. Hurriedly, she walked up to him and asked with a sweet smile, "Why did you come here, Mr. Hope?"
"I was wandering around and it was time for lunch, so I came over," Baiyi replied casually. Baiyi patted Mia's head and said, "Alright, let's eat first. Let's go over there."
"Yes, yes!" Mia nodded her head vigorously. She was so happy just because of such a small thing. Even her footsteps became lighter. Her two black ponytails danced up and down as she walked, expressing the joy in her heart.
This little girl is so easy to coax. I'll have to watch out for her in the future. I don't want to be fooled by some rascal... Baiyi sighed inwardly. With just a few steps, he brought Mia back to the small park. However, as soon as he stepped on the soft grass, he felt a little awkward. Due to the large number of students who came for lunch, the benches and corridors were all occupied by people.
"Urgh..." Mia had also noticed the situation but she did not want to sit on the grass. Her white skirt would be dirtied if she sat on the grass. Disappointed, she said, "Mr. Hope, let's go back to the classroom, shall we? You haven't visited our classroom yet. "
Before Baiyi could open his mouth to speak, a Soul Armature who was standing not far away from him quickly stood up and pulled the boy beside him. Then, he waved his hand and signaled for Baiyi and the Soul Armature to sit down. After that, he bowed slightly towards Baiyi and led the practitioner to sit down on the grass.
"Looks like we've met some kind people," Baiyi quickly led Mia to sit down.
Mia was a little puzzled. She did not know that boy at all. However, that did not stop her from politely thanking the two kind people before she sat down next to Baiyi. She took out a handkerchief from her skirt pocket and placed it on her thigh, which was covered by her white silk stockings, to cover the seductive Absolute Territory between her skirt and her silk stockings. Then, she placed the plate on her lap and opened the lid.
However, when Baiyi saw the food on the plate, he immediately became angry. His relaxed tone turned serious as he asked, "Why are you only eating this?"
There were only a few bean sprouts, a few leaves, and a piece of soft bread the size of a palm on the wooden plate. Even for a girl, this was too little and too shabby.
Mia was slightly taken aback by Baiyi's sudden change in attitude. She quickly explained, "It's because of the box of biscuits this morning. My stomach is so full right now that I can't eat anything else." She patted her stomach to show that she was very full.
Truth be told, it was just a small box of biscuits. After generously distributing them to her classmates, she did not even eat a single biscuit. Baiyi did not say anything and just stared at her silently.
Mia could also vaguely sense Baiyi's suspicion. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to let Baiyi see the expression on her face. She added, "Besides, I'm a bit slow. I don't want to compete with the other students..."
She really did not know how to lie at all. The Celestial Fortress Academy was not so poor that they did not even have a sufficient supply of meat. It was just that Mia only ate a few bean sprouts because she wanted to secretly save money for Baiyi's body.
Of course, Baiyi could see through such a simple and adorable thought. It made him feel a little sad and touched at the same time. Patting Mia's head lightly, he said in a serious tone, "Mia, your body is the most important thing. Don't only eat these things in the future. I'll also come and have lunch with you every day from now on."
"Eh?" Mia quickly raised her head. Looking at the serious aura that Baiyi was emitting, she nodded her head with a complicated feeling in her heart.
"Alright, you can go and wait here. I'll go to the cafeteria to get you something delicious," Baiyi said. Just as he was about to get up, a cute girl who was wearing the same uniform as Mia had already jogged to their side. Smiling sweetly at Mia, she said, "Mia, I bought an extra drumstick today. Can I share it with you?"
Having said that, without waiting for Mia's reply, she picked up the golden fried drumstick that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and placed it in Mia's lunch box without any hesitation. Bowing slightly at Baiyi, she quickly ran away.
Looking at the direction where she left, Baiyi saw Mr. Owl waving at him in a friendly manner. That guy... Looks like he heard the conversation between him and Mia, right?
"Eh, thank you, but what's this..." Looking at the fragrant drumstick on her plate, Mia suddenly felt a little awkward. Before she could open her mouth to ask, she saw a lot of students carrying lunch boxes over. There were boys and girls, and they all followed the girl's example and added fried eggs, ham, bacon and other food into Mia's lunch box. For a moment, the lunch box in Mia's hands was almost piled up.
The last one to come over was Mr. Sorry. In his hands were two wooden cups that were still emitting hot steam. Politely and gracefully, he handed one of the cups to Mia and said, "I'm sorry. This is a hot drink that I specially brewed. It's very popular among girls. Beautiful and lovely Miss Mia, would you like to try it?"
"Thank you." Mia took the fragrant hot drink in a daze. Completely confused by the situation, she could only look at Baiyi with a pleading gaze.
"When I was free this morning, I helped them a little. That's about it," Baiyi said casually.
"Is that so? You're really amazing, Mr. Hope! Everyone respects you so much! "Mia exclaimed happily. But when she looked down at the lunch box in her hands, she could not help but scratch her head. A slightly embarrassed expression appeared on her face." But, isn't this a little too much? "
How could it not be a lot? Compared to an old military doctor who knows how to treat all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases, oh no, a super blacksmith, what is this little bit of reward? They can't wait to have a good relationship with me right now! Baiyi thought to himself. Then, he drew a simple thermal formation on the side of the lunch box and said, "Don't force yourself if you can't finish it. Just leave it for dinner tonight..."
Just like that, after Mia finished her meal and went back to class, the lunch box that was filled with kindness stayed by Baiyi's side, accompanying him as he continued to help the other Soul Armatures.
When Mia rushed to the small park after class, Baiyi had just finished helping the last Soul Armature. So, Mia happened to see the scene of the Soul Armature and his practitioner bowing deeply to Baiyi.
"Mr. Hope!" Mia hurriedly rushed to Baiyi's side, "I've heard about you from my classmates. Everyone is very grateful to you! They all say that you're a wise and passionate master. Even I was praised a lot by them. I'm so embarrassed... "
"It's just a small matter. Alright, let's go back." Baiyi picked up the lunch box and led Mia back to the dormitory. The two figures, one big and one small, formed two long shadows under the sunset.
While waiting for Mia to feed the pigeons in the square, the Archmage turned to Baiyi and asked, "Looks like you've already thought of a solution? No wonder you were so busy today that you didn't even get a single coin. "
"Yes, this is a good idea," Baiyi said as he turned around. Baiyi said as he turned his body around. Mia had suddenly changed her direction and her skirt was too short for Baiyi to see the little bear pattern that was underneath her skirt.
"Even though I didn't earn much money today, what I've gained is much more valuable than money," he continued.
The development of the situation was exactly as Baiyi had expected. On the second day, the number of Soul Armatures that appeared in the small park was much more than the day before. His reputation had already begun to spread. If this continued, the things that he would gain would not just be an excuse to fool Mia anymore.
Not only him, even Mia was being taken care of by many other students. For those students who were still in the naive stage, being good to their Soul Armatures was the same as being good to them. For that reason, when Mia walked into the cafeteria at noon, a kind girl immediately handed her a plate filled with all kinds of delicious food.
Being able to maintain a good relationship with a skilled blacksmith in such a simple way was definitely a good deal. Not only did the students understand this principle, even the academy understood it as well. For that reason, on the third day, Baiyi's place of treatment was changed from the bench in the park to a small wooden hut next to it. The hut had already been transformed into a small blacksmith's shop by the academy in advance. Even though it was not big, it had all kinds of materials and tools.
"Tsk tsk, looks like the Celestial Fortress Academy really knows how to do business." Looking at the Soul Armatures that were already queuing up outside the blacksmith's shop early in the morning, Baiyi said to the Voidwalkers.
"I think it's about time, right? It's time to start charging, "The Blacksmith suggested.
"No, no, no! It's not the right time yet!" The Merchant quickly dissuaded, "I suggest that Sir Hope do not take the initiative to collect the money. Instead, you should wait for them to obediently give you the money... Everything that we're doing now is to pave the way for that. When Sir Hope finds an excuse to stop repairing for them for free, that would be the time for them to come to you with gold coins in their arms."
This guy is indeed much more knowledgeable than the other Voidwalkers in this aspect... In terms of marketing concept, he is not any worse than the earthlings.
